When a brand has three former fashion editors at the helm, you can count on the clothes being immaculate. Italian label Blazé Milano has spent more than a decade perfecting the cut and fabrics of its timeless blazers. Crafted in Italy from wool-blend twill, this ‘Jay Daisy’ style has exaggerated shoulders, face-framing lapels and a flattering, nipped-in waist. The signature ‘smiley’ pockets are inspired by the curves of ’20s design and add a sense of playfulness to the refined silhouette.

“If you’re returning to work post-vacation, Blazé Milano’s gorgeous blazer is the ultimate transitional piece to see you into the cooler months,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Millie Parry. As for styling, the versatile toffee shade will go with countless favorite outfits, but looks especially chic when paired with other neutrals, such as buttercream, pastel yellow and vanilla. From our NET SUSTAIN edit of consciously crafted clothing, Toteme’s organic-cotton Oxford shirt in soft lemon is the perfect choice. “I’ll be wearing mine with relaxed white jeans by Róhe and a statement shoe – Valentino Garavani’s leopard-print ballet flats are the moment,” adds Parry. The beauty of an outfit like this is that it can be worn from day to night in all manner of settings, from work meetings to low-key dinner dates.

For evening events, tuck Bottega Veneta’s ‘Teen Lauren 1980’ clutch under your arm. Crafted from supple weathered leather, it’s named after iconic American actor Lauren Hutton and the original version of the design she wore in the ’80s. Alternatively, embrace the season’s ladylike mood with Savette’s elegant ‘Symmetry Pochette’ tote. The gold-tone twist-lock and braided trims are testament to the brand’s impeccable Italian craftsmanship.

Your jewelry selection should be just as considered as your clothing, and sleek, minimal pieces in gleaming yellow gold are always a sophisticated choice. Another NET SUSTAIN highlight (and a NET-A-PORTER exclusive), By Pariah’s ring stack is crafted from 14-karat recycled gold set with a scintillating row of morganites and smooth red jasper. Wear them together or separately alongside Anita Ko’s diamond-encrusted hoops.
